THE FLASH Episodes 02

In a salute to the film The Flash, here are the rest of the TV Guide listings I clipped in 1990-91 for the original CBS series.

Jason Bernard did a great job as the Nightshade.

This epi, "Twin Streaks," was a lot of fun, allowing Shipp to play himself twice.

"Watching the Detectives" was fun for introducing the PI Megan Lockhart, who later returned as the object of James Jesse's psychotic affection in "The Trickster."

David Cassidy got to guest-star as an invisible man.

Was "Alpha" glamorous or frighteningly deadly, or both?

"The Trial of the Trickster" was a fun way for the show to end.  And it's a darn shame that the series was cut short by (among other things) "the blindness of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets" (to quote the Glen Campbell release).

See you on Monday the 31st for an interview with Danny Bilson, one of The Flash series' creators.

  

THE FLASH Episodes 01

The Flash was such a fun TV show. I dubbed and often rewatched my VHS tapes until the DVD set came out.

These are some of the TV Guide listings that adorned my home-decorated tape boxes.

"Ghost in the Machine" aired December 13, 1990.

                               

Mark Hamill's first round as "The Trickster" aired February 7, 1991.  To me it's plain that Hamill's take on the Joker is an expansion of this assay as the Trickster.

"Flash Forward" sent the Flash a decade into a future where Pike is mayor.  Not much fun, especially since the Flash's speed doesn't make the trip with him.

"Shroud of Death" deaths with the death mask of Rasputin and some vengeful types, but is a Flash episode rare in that I can't immediately recall its plot.

See you on Thursday for the rest of my Flash clippings from TV Guide.
